Summary

San Antonio Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 326 students in the Alum Rock Union Elementary district of San Jose, serving a community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academic performance at the school is significantly below both state and district averages, with only about 22% of students proficient in English and Math, and it has seen a notable decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade. The school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, though recent rates are near the district average, and it operates with a higher student-teacher ratio than many traditional public schools in the area. Performance is particularly low for students in special education and in upper-grade science and math.

When compared to some nearby schools like Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep or Rocketship Discovery Prep, which serve similar student populations, San Antonio's academic results are lower, suggesting factors beyond demographics and resources are at play. All schools in the Alum Rock Union Elementary district face challenges, but San Antonio generally performs below other district schools such as Adelante Dual Language Academy II and Learning in an Urban Community with High Achievement (L.U.C.H.A.).
